Mega Diancie VS Mega Venusaur

Boom—

As the three Max Moves ended, Gigantamax Charizard continuously shrank and collapsed amid a roaring crash, returning to its ordinary form over two meters tall.

Xia Chen smiled faintly and raised the ring embedded with a Key Stone, glittering beneath the sunlight.

"It's our turn, Diancie. Mega Evolution!"

After Mega Evolution, Diancie's defensive capabilities would drop sharply, while its attack and speed would receive enormous boosts.

Which meant the counterattack began now!

"Charizard, Dragon Dance!"

Though Charizard had exited Dynamax, Red's command was anything but conservative. He directly had Charizard boost itself during Diancie's Mega Evolution.

There was no choice but to boost. Though Mega Diancie was strong offensively and weak defensively, that was only by comparison.

A Legendary Pokémon—and a Mega Evolved Legendary Pokémon at that—even if its defenses were weaker, just how weak could they be?

Logically, the three Max Moves should have been a prime opportunity to use Max Airstream to raise speed or Max Knuckle to raise attack, yet Charizard had not used either for various reasons.

In the end, it had only gotten the rather underwhelming physical defense boost from Max Steelspike.

Fortunately, Diancie's Mega Evolution required a bit of "transformation time," giving Charizard a chance to make up for it with Dragon Dance.

Still, Mega Evolution was a little faster. Before long, the pastel radiance enveloping Diancie faded, revealing the ever more magnificent and regal Diamond Princess!

The audience erupted once more. This time, not because of the thrilling battle, but simply in astonishment at Mega Diancie's stunning beauty.

In terms of sheer visual splendor, perhaps even Mega Gardevoir fell slightly short.

"Diancie, Diamond Storm!"

Unlike Charizard, Diancie had no need to keep boosting. Charizard's Fire/Flying typing made it four times weak to Rock type attacks. Even Carbink could deal massive damage to
